Servings: 18
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup(s) panko bread crumbs
1 cup(s) unsweetend shredded coconut
4 teaspoon(s) finely grated lime peel (about 2 limes)
2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 1/2 pound(s) jumbo shrimp
peanut oil for frying
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix panko, coconut, lime peel, salt and pepper in a medium shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Add shrimp to bowl with beaten eggs and toss to coat. Working with one shrimp at a time, coat with panko crumbs. Place shrimp on prepared baking sheet. This can be done 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
2. Pour enough peanut oil in a large skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat to medium-high temperature. Working in batches, add shrimp to skillet and cook just until golden - about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
3. *Costco frozen shrimp works beautifully - 1.5 lb. bag with 11-15 shrimp per pound. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator prior to using.
